I however want to draw your attention to the plans, to disable or remove megaraid based hardware from Dell. Doing so will cause issues and leave behind people in the home lab community behind. Also there’s also videos circulating from as recently as during 2022 recommending the Dell PowerEdge R620 rack servers.

I will also point out with my contributor hat on, I would have some
serious trouble with a raised baseline to x86_64-v3, as I only have
one computer that is capable of it (barely). The rise to x86_64-v2 was
painful enough, but -v3 would be quite a problem for me and result in
throwing away even more hardware, which is not exactly a very
environmentally friendly thing to do...
